Testimonials

Balboa Horizons allowed me to be who I truly am, to acknowledge who I am as a person, and how to build off of that. They gave me both the spiritual and the therapeutic resources to craft my best life. I’m going on two years of sobriety, and couldn’t have done it without my family at Balboa Horizons.

- Michael G, Santa Ana, CA

We were so impressed with the staff at Balboa. We really felt all of you cared so much for our daughter and were truly committed and believed in the program. We feel so blessed to have found Balboa Horizons!

- Robin F., Beverly Hills, CA

I knew things were going to change when I came to Balboa Horizons, but I didn’t realize the magnitude of the changes that would occur within me. I went from being hopeless to having hope. My steps are lighter, my heart is gladder and that’s all thanks to the amazing staff at Balboa Horizons.

- John H., Newport Beach, CA

As his mother, I am so grateful for his recovery and that fact that ‘I have my son back.’ He still maintains contact with two friends he met through the program, and they both came to his wedding in November 2014. They all have a connection and I know that they will all be lifelong friends. I am very proud of all of them!

- Teresa S., Tulare, CA

I felt I might lose my child forever to the disease of addiction. Today my son is over 15 months sober, working a program, employed, saving money, supporting himself, driving his own vehicle, and doing for others. He recently told me, ‘For the first time in my life, I am really happy.’ I will be forever grateful to the Balboa Horizons staff. I know it is always up to the individual to do the work, but you are providing the environment and expertise to facilitate recovery from a deadly disease.

- Frank O., Port Orchard, WA
